Notary & Attestation
The act of notarization of the signatures on a document can only be done by a legally approved notary public, with signatories present in person Attestations of documents, on the other hand, by the Ministry of Justice can be facilitated by anyone, without the need for the owner of document to be personally present.
When you need a certified translation of a document for legal, insurance, or other purpose, we affix legal stamp and signature by the most reputable and recognized gazette in UAE on the document verifying the accuracy of the translation.
